Mice at this area belongs to the Icewing’s Invasion group and they are only effective with a hydro trap, so make sure you at least have a heatbath trap or ancient spear gun trap.

Go to the charm shoppe, and check out the Softserve Charms.

This charms will attract mice with the following crafting items:

Icebreaker mice drop Wire Spools.

Saboteur mice drop Heating Oil.

Yeti mice drop Frosty Metal.

Trap Setup

Heat Bath*

Molten Shrapnel Base**

Gouda

1,328,000 gold

720,000 gold

600 gold/piece

* Can substitute with Ancient Spear Gun Trap

** Can substitute with Spellbook Base, Snake Jade Base

Main Goals

Use the Softserve Charms and hunt for the following crafting materials:

20 Wire Spools

20 Frosty Metals

20 Heating Oils

Note: The above amount is recommended, however you can just collect enough to first build a few of the bases in the next stage first then come back and collect more. You need at least 5 of each first to build the new trap!

Once you have gotten 5 wire spools, 5 frosty metals, and 5 heating oils, head to the trapsmith and purchase the Steam Laser Mk. I.

Also hunt around 100 War Scraps for buying charms in next stage.

Before you move on, go to the trapsmith and buy one for each of the blueprints. (Magnet Base Blueprints, Remote Detonator Base Blueprints, Spiked Base Blueprints, Hearthstone Base Blueprints)

Yes Spellbook base would be better, but considering that I put this stage before ZT. So if they follow my guide they won’t have spellbook base yet. Besides you can’t craft spellbook base before you have 67,750,000 points. So MBS will do for here! :)

That many are needed to help you able to craft all the required base when you head over to iceberg, but of course you can always come back and recollect, just that if you don’t have all the special base, there is a very slim chance for you to able to get all 3 chests on first few runs. I highly recommend crafting the remote detonator first, because it’s used from 600 feet to 1600 feet, where as the rest only will be used for approximately 200 feet.

Hi, I’m currently collecting high amounts of War Scraps to purchase the respective Ice Drills. May I know the optimized set-up/location to obtain them in the quickest time possible? My biggest query is, will hunting without Softserve Charms actually increase the drop rates of War Scraps?

it will since u dont attract the mice that doesn’t drop war scraps but then again, the crafting materials (frosty metal) can be smashed to obtain 3 wwar scraps. i guess if u really need war scraps then just use softserve

I think brie is a better choice for a first-time setup. According to horntracker data, the estimated difference of attraction rate between gouda and brie is about 2.5%. That might have been ok, if the chance to catch a mouse was around 100%, But an ASG/SJB setup gives you an average of 53% of catching a mouse. If you take into account that you use softserve charms as well, you pay-up 1250 per hunt, it could run a pretty hefty tab.

Currently trying to farm parts for the Iceberg, using Ice Blaster + Horse Jade Base + Softserve + Gouda, but the attraction rate leaves a bit to be desired. What’s a couple changes I could do to the trap for better attraction? Only bases I have with higher attraction are the birthday cake ones, and i only have the ice blaster and ancient spear gun for weapons.
